Yes, I didn't want to bring up the Texas angle too. You only need to get one contrarian, jack-off on the jury.

She could always say "I was waving the gun to defend myself and it went off; I didn't mean to shoot her, nevermind kill her



... then I panicked and went on the run"

I really want to be called to jury duty for this case.

Jury selection is the absolute most important aspect of any trial. More important than innocence or guilt, ironically.

I'd say unless you lie to them, there's no way you'll get in.

She should have just waited until Mo was cycling, then run her over in her vehicle, which would have been a modest fine.

100% won't get in, but still want to be called.

"Do you think you can treat this case impartially, based only on the evidence and the law?"

"Oh, don't worry, your honor. We got this all sorted out on Slowtwitch already. Let's do this."

I think that would immediately disqualify you from it.

Sadly this is true.

If she had a big-ass truck, certainly

But she only had a Jeep

And if you were to get in, your post has just gifted both sides a 'mis-trial' card to play as desired.

did the suspect flee with 450K or had she already returned it?

Interesting if their defense is that Strickland manipulated her, bought the gun and drove her to kill his other lover. Dateline material for sure.

That Seth person linked earlier sounds like some anger issues are present.

Brilliant with the comparison of the size of the bike industry vs the legal one. I know where I’d rather waste my money, no matter how crappy certain races may be.

My dad was hardline republican. He was a very responsible and conservative about his guns but.

He had the A-list - to name a few.

AR-15
AK-47
Uzi
Walther P38

When he died my mom eventually asked me if I wanted them. I had only been married one year but my wife had such a homicidal temper I thought dear god they are going to find me with 30 rounds in my back so I declined her offer. I thought mom would be very offended but she actually just said "thank you, I didn't think you needed all of that"

I had read too many stories of parents loosing there sh*t and shooting the whole family dead.
And I was right, that conversation was 2008, 9 years later I had to divorce my wife with a restraining order. Her anger dial only had one setting - claw your face out black pupil animal rage.

First meeting at court..
My attorney: Holy sh*t, I can't believe that's her

Me: What do you mean?

My attorney: I can't believe that's the woman screaming like an animal in your recordings. She looks like a little angel, she's dressed meticulously and her voice is so soft I can barely hear her.

Me: Thats why I kept records for the last 6 years I didn't think anyone would believe me, and when you hear the recording, it matches everything I wrote on my "incident reports" i kept at work for years.

My attorney: Usually people who act like this when we meet them in court you can kind of pick up on their craziness - it comes out in little ways. With her, you can't tell at all. Thats scary, that means there is something REALLY WRONG with her.

I've been catching up on all our favorite shows on the DVR since almost finishing Chattanooga last week and I came across the season opener of Dateline that we had DVR'd; "The Last Ride". That was probably the best Dateline I have watched since I knew the entire story from following this thread. I thought they did a really good job covering the story and it was really interesting to hear other details about the crime that were not discussed here. I came back to this thread thinking there would be some discussion about it but I didn't find anything. Hard to believe others haven't watched this, and if not, I highly recommend watching the episode if you followed this thread. The last interview in the episode is Kristen's lawyer. "Holy Cow". You'd want this guy if you were being accused of murder. What a story he has......

Thanks for the heads up. I hadn't heard about that. I'll take a look for it and give it a watch soon.

I watched the Dateline episode. Really good.

I still think Armstrong is guilt AF (that was definitely her vehicle pulling up to the crime scene on camera), however there looks to be a case for reasonable doubt here.

I can't figure out how the landlord didn't hear the gunshots being downstairs from the apartment.

The US legal system with "beyond a reasonable doubt" can always make these types of cases very interesting. I would assume with this type of messy dating background issues, it's going to be very "nasty" for families to hear about their family members, etc.

(don't want to hijack the thread, but dateline episodes are good as audio-only podcasts. Comes up very rarely that I wish I could be watching/seeing it).

I watched the show when it first aired. Maybe it was my own personal bias, but I thought they let Strickland off lightly. IMHO, he didn't pull the trigger, but as others have said on this thread, he was the "enabler" and that was not a takeaway for me from watching this. It did provide more details than other outlets have shared however.

I saw it when it was on as well but only up to the point she was captured in Costa Rice; I might've DVR'd it then deleted it

I'll have to watch the end on Peacock - gonna be weird watching something about bikes on Peacock w/o Bobke, CVV or Ant LOL
